Installing tKey JS SDK

The tKey SDK contains multiple packages are needed to enable different functionalities of the tKey SDK. You can choose the packages you want to install according to the functionalities you want to enable in your application. In this doc we have highlighted all of the packages and their functionalities.

Base tKey Package​

While installing Web3Auth Core Kit tKey SDK, we recommend installing the tkey/core SDK. This package contains all the needed core functionalities of the tkey SDK.

@tkey/core​

npm install --save @tkey/core

Adding Service Provider​

The Service Provider helps with the authentication and identification of the user using their social logins and giving the user an easy way of account retrieval. We have made a custom service provider utilizing the Single Factor Auth Web SDK as a service provider within the tKey SDK.

@tkey/service-provider-sfa​

npm install --save @tkey/service-provider-sfa

Adding Storage Layer​

The Storage Layer refers to the Metadata Storage, which is used to store the metadata information of the shares generated by the tKey SDK.

@tkey/storage-layer-torus​

npm install --save @tkey/storage-layer-torus

These are node dependencies that need to be polyfilled in your application, to enable Web3Auth functionalities. Furthermore, your bundler needs to be reconfigured to use them while building the app. We have created guides for different bundlers to help you with this issue:
